Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."There were no concerns with the stability. This product is very good from a stability perspective."
"Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."
"The product seems stable enough."
"The metadata management of Informatica is great."
"The capability of the tool to scan and capture the metadata from a variety of sources is one of the capabilities that I find most useful. The central repository into which it is going to put that captured metadata is the best."
"We can scan anything."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog is it provides clients with a full view of the enterprise data assets. For example, how many data assets they have and who owns them."
"It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It's scalable."
"It is an ETL tool, which does the extract, transform, and load."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward, especially compared to Mule, which our team has worked with before and found to be a bit more complex in terms of setup."
"The CAEM is very useful in its modularity and portability."
"The most valuable features of ODI are the ease of development, you can have a template, and you can onboard transfer very quickly. There's a lot of knowledge modules available that we can use. If you want to connect, for example, a Sibyl, SQL, Oracle, or different products, we don't have to develop them from scratch. They are available, but if it's not, we can go into the marketplace and see if there's a connector there. Having the connector available reduces the amount of hard work needed. We only have to put the inputs and outputs. In some of the products, we use there is already integration available for ODI, which is helpful."
"It allows us to use many languages to develop and to integrate practically all the technologies of the Oracle suite as well as those from non-Oracle vendors."
"The installation of the client ODI Studio is easy."
"I am not sure if there are various connectors available in the recent version of Pervasive DI to support the wide range of sources available (e.g., big data, cloud, EME)."
"Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog could improve by having a much better user interface. It is not user-friendly."
"This solution is hard to set up and its interface is not user-friendly. It's also not as stable, and the technical support takes a lot of time to solve simple problems."
"The scalability is tough."
"Interoperability is one area where EDC has room for improvement. It was challenging when the faculty took over the data world and had specific vendors they wanted to use, and some were not particularly open platforms."
"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."
"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
"The model is somewhat flexible. There are certain aspects of the model that are not as flexible as we would like. It doesn't do certain things to a great level of depth. So, in situations where we want to drill in to do something specific, we have to essentially copy that data into our own structures in order to add that additional layer of flexibility."
"IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages."
"At present, when multiple steps are executed in parallel in the load plan and errors occur, the error handling mechanism does not function correctly."
"The initial setup is complex, especially if you also have to install a console."
"Overall the product is fine, but sometimes its reports unknown errors while we compile ETL scripts."
"The price needs to be lowered. It's too expensive."
"The solution lacks some functions and features."
"If you have something like Cisco on top of it, you will have endless problems."
"It lacks a suite of tools suitable for fully processing data and moving it into decision support warehouses."
"Reverse engineering is complicated and challenging to manage."
